The superstar was talking with fans Saturday on Twitter, mentioning how she was reviewing contest entries in which people made a video lip-synching a new release of hers, “Regret in Your Tears.” On the website, she said the winner may get to choose the prize: Joining her for the Billboard Music Awards on May 21 near Las Vegas or hanging with her in the studio.

Then a fan asked if Minaj would pay for his tuition. The star responded by saying that she would if he had straight A’s and could verify it. In the response, Minaj wrote “Who wants to join THAT contest?!?!”

After another fan noted that people with 4.0 GPAs tend to have scholarships, Minaj seemed to extend the new contest to others as she replied to individual requests for proof about each person’s college costs.

Let me talk to Gee. Idk how it works. But straight A students can use money for living. They can still use the money. https://t.co/nOdu56r9rN— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 7, 2017

Many of the requests she agreed to cover were less than $1,000. She said she would pay one $6,000 request if the man had proof.

One user who identified herself as a single mother from Queens said she had $500 left of her tuition to be paid, leading Minaj to agree to cover the cost.
